FLOODED: Hopefully, this weekend's rain won't lead to more scenes like this, in Didsbury, two years ago

Wet weather is set to drench Manchester this weekend.

The Met Office has set a yellow wet weather warning across Greater Manchester this weekend, starting at midnight on Friday and lasting until noon on Sunday, December 23.

It's expected that there will be six to nine hours of fairly steady rain across the borough, with a brief break before more heavy rain tomorrow (Saturday) night.

There are currently no flood warning for Greater Manchester, although the Environmental Agency has issued eight flood warning for the north west and two flood alerts for the River Alt in Merseyside and the Weaver Catchment including Nantwich and Crewe.

A spokesman from the Met Office said he expect there will be some transport disruption, particularly among the most susceptible parts of the road and rail network.
